Manage python dependencies and environment with Pipenv

Why

• Automatically install required Pythons, if pyenv or asdf is available

• Automatically loads .env files, if they exist.

• Automatically creates a virtualenv in a standard location.

• Automatically adds/removes packages to a Pipfile when they are installed/uninstalled.

Install

• brew install pipenv

Basic command

• pipenv --python <version> setup project for specific python version

• pipenv install [--dev] <package> install a package. --dev -> only used in development.

• pipenv run <command> run a command inside virtual environment

  • Ex: pipenv run python -m pytest

• pipenv shell activate virtual env

  • exit to deactivate virtualenv

• pipenv graph show dependency graph

• pipenv lock generate Pipfile.lock

• pipenv requirements > requirements.txt generate requirements.txt

• pipenv sync install all packages specified in Pipfile.lock
